Hello, After an upgrade to RedHat 9 and the supplied samba-[|commoan-|client-]2.2.7a-8.9.0 rpms we've discovered a problem with smbmount. It sometimes invokes itself twice and then hangs. Sample script to test: #!/usr/bin/perl # testing Samba problem print "$$\n"; `/usr/bin/smbmount //cmc-apps/settlements ./t-samba -o credentials=/home/mrasmuss/mlrcred,workgroup=FSIUS &`; print "$? mount \n"; `/usr/bin/smbumount ./t-samba &`; print "$? presumed good umount \n"; On the first invocation everything works fine. On the second invocation the smbmount command is seemingly double called as shown by ps: 19081 pts/7 S 0:00 /usr/bin/perl ./tpl 19085 pts/7 S 0:00 /usr/bin/smbmount //cmc-apps/settlements ./t-samba -o credentials /home/mrasmuss/mlrcred workgroup FSIUS 19086 ? S 0:00 /usr/bin/smbmount //cmc-apps/settlements ./t-samba -o credentials /home/mrasmuss/mlrcred workgroup FSIUS If the script and mounts are all killed I can successfully re-run the script - after an as yet to be determined timeout time. Any insights as to what would cause this behavior? -- Michael Rasmussen, Infrastructure Engineer Columbia Management Company, Portland, Oregon Michael.Rasmussen@ColumbiaManagement.com Desk: 971-925-6723 Desk: 503-973-6723 (deprecated) Cell: 503-209-6227
